So I voiced the new cutscene

I saw that new cutscene (quite beautifully done, and OMG LORE) and I just had to voice it...so I started up camtasia and watched the cutscene a second time around, making up the voices as I went (which resulted in subpar voices, but I'm eager to start playing the new content), so here it is ...

note that I didn't post this in treasure vault because I wouldn't really consider this "art"

I also VA'd it, but I don't have a recorder thing, and I couldn't let mom see me. XD

heh

lol, I might re-voice it separate from the video in my DAW (digital audio workstation) with my mic set up properly and in my fairly sound-proof studio, also I really should work on my voices, these ones are pretty bad >.<

Awesome

This sounds really cool! I'd expected there would be a voice-over in the original video, but now I doubt OOO would have had something as goods as the one you put together.

Was Captain Ozlo's voiced based on the voice for the Starcraft Terran battlecruiser? He certainly looks the part.

You missed one speech bubble due to your graphics setting being the lowest possible. When you voice it again, turn your graphics up!

Spiralviperr is right.

I congratulate you fine fellow. Splendid job of the most superb type, I must say.

Only objection I have is to me it seems voice of the narrator is a bit too deep for it to fit the Spiral Knight theme.

EDIT: In addendum, I personally think OOO should hold a contest for the best voicing of each part and make it official.

Spiral Knights sure is Derpy today, huh

wow, so many people thought it was good, i thought it was terrible XD

I went through the cutscene again on high quality, like 3 times, still no speech bubble. I saw it on the sk youtube channel though...probably has something to do with why SK is experiencing so many glitches right now....

Yes, I agree. The voice acting for the knight's injury sound effects has a light-hearted woman-like voice, so the narrator could possibly have a less Call-of-Duty-ish voice. The female narrator for Unreal Tournament Gold/2004 might be a good voice to go off. Unstoppable! The rest of the voices were spot on. (I wonder if it would have been better if you spoke faster, or slowed the video down, so you could finish the text before it moved on. The cutscenes are a little fast)

Captain Ozlo: Receiving Transmission. Set a course. Take it slow.

I'm a guy, and I also imagined a woman voice saying the narration text.

That was awesome. The voices for each character worked so well. Although I could tell your voice waned a little bit near the end of the opening monologue... then again, I don't think the text was written to be read verbally, so its probably hard to get it all in.

Yeah, I imagined it as a woman's voice too, but here's a quick audio file which explains exactly why I chose the voice I did

Also, on another note, my

Also, on another note, my boyfriend and I both think you could enunciate "Ozlo" better. To him, it sounds like you are saying "Ozio." I just think you are unsure of it's pronunciation. Either way, a more definite "L" sound is needed I think.

That is fantastic

Both the video and the audio file are absolutely fantastic. Besides the mistakes that other people pointed out, I think it's spot on. Your voice acting shall go next to James Earl Jones.
